Where there's rain, there's a rainbow, so I'm sharing this easy and very colorful breakfast idea - rainbow toast.
I'm a huge sucker for sales at groceries and found loaves of bread for 50 cents! Even though I had already bought two huge baguettes from Costco the day prior, I bought them up.
So now I had to figure out a way to use up all my bread; I figured no better idea than toast.
Growing up, we ate a lot of Nutella toast and peanut butter toast because it was cheap, easy, and portable. We especially them while traveling and during our golf competitions, back when I used to compete a lot.
This is a slightly more grown up and more colorful version of the plain toast I ate in when I was younger. I love trying out different combinations of fruit and spreads, especially before the summer fruit season ends.
I found it more efficient to make several of these toasts ahead of time, then save them for busy mornings the rest of the week. Make sure your bread is toasted prior and apply a generous spread of peanut/almond butter or Nutella to protect the fruit from making the bread soggy. Cream cheese does not keep as well so eat immediately.
This is the sweet toppings version, so stay tuned for the savory toppings.
Enjoy, and stay dry!

ReplyDeleteThey are indeed :)
DeleteI love this! I love dressing up toast and you've definitely helped give me some new ideas!
ReplyDeleteInstagram has so many inspiring ideas :)
DeleteThese look so beautiful and I might just try one of these! I just got nutella and some fresh strawberries! I'm getting excited! :)
ReplyDeleteNutella and strawberries are a fool proof combo :)
DeleteMaking ALL of these with my girl - she's a Nutella and raspberry freak, but the dragonfruit one looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteDragonfruit is a bit of an acquired taste (reminds me of a kiwi) but nutella and raspberry are foolproof. My favorite toasts had nutella ;)
DeleteThat sounds interesting! The only fruit I eat with bread was banana but i definetly have to try it with other stuff now! Especially with strawberries !
ReplyDeleteStrawberries are a great way to branch out. Bananas are of course classic (I just didn't have any at the time)
DeleteOkay you are helping me look at toast in a whole new way!! WOW! These are not only delicious sounding but also lovely! Thanks for the ideas for spicing up my bread!! =)
ReplyDeleteHappy to make your life more colorful ;)
DeleteYUM! Toast is so hot right now! I'm saving these ideas for breakfasts and snacks.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy them anytime, all the time!
DeleteThis is a great way to add fruit to breakfast without giving up on toast! The colours are beautiful and it's sure to please even the fussiest of eaters!
ReplyDeleteI love carbs for breakfast :)
DeleteGosh, such great and delicious ideas! All I ever think of is banana and PB on toast. My toddler will love this!
ReplyDeleteHope you and your toddler enjoy!
DeleteI'm obsessed with dragon fruit right now. This looks so delicious.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for the red dragon fruit but the white kind is pretty cool too :)
Deletenever knew toast could be so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteInstagram will do that haha
DeleteI never think to do this on toast! Thanks for the inspo.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy! The ideas are endless
DeleteYum these look amazing! I'm a bit of a sweet tooth so I'd definitely enjoy these, especially The coconut Flakes and Chocolate Chips! For me it is finding time to make them - and with my boy too! But maybe I can work on these on the weekends. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAs long as you have all the ingredients ready they're pretty quick to make :)
DeleteI've never tried dragon fruit - it looks beautiful! All look delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to explain what a dragonfruit tastes like - sort of like a kiwi (very mild)
DeleteOh yum, these look great! I should really be more adventurous with my toast options in the morning, mine never looks as pretty, haha!
ReplyDeleteA pretty breakfast makes the day start off better :)
DeleteI always just do the normal jelly and butter for toast, but I may have to try some of these. Mix up my normal.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to include jelly as a topping but ran out of bread haha
DeleteYum! All of these looks so cute and delicious. Never would have thought of using dragon fruit like that :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun topping - although personally I believe berries go better with bread since dragonfruit is so mild tasting
DeleteAh, these look so tasty! Especially the blueberries and honey toast. I would never think to make these ahead of time, as I haaate soggy bread, but I will give one of the peanut butter toasts a try as a to-go breakfast one day. Love your website name, by the way!
ReplyDeleteI toast my bread prior - I can't stand soft or soggy bread either! The peanut butter and nutella act as a barrier for the toast. Glad you like the website name :)
DeleteThese all look delicious! I especially love the nutella and chocolate varieties!
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with chocolate/nutella!
DeleteThese look so delicious! I am trying them this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great variety of options! I never think to put more than spreads on toast, so this is a great list of ideas out of the box (for me). I need to try some strawberries...yum!
